DEATHS.

la this issue Of The Herald we
announce the death Of five persons,
whose ages show that death with
his cycle makes no discrimination
between tho old and the young,
the high OF the low-all fall alike
in its circle.
On last Sunday james D. Rob
erts, an old and highly respected
citizen Of our county, died al lns
residence, seven miles west of
Liberty, where he has long resid-
ed, and where his influence has
ever been exercised for the good
order Of society and the building
up Of the church Of Christ aud the
advancement of His kingdom.
His suffering was long, and Of o
character more grieyous 70 be
borne than often falls to the Tot Of
humanity to endure. yet he bore
it all with a christian maekness
rarely met with in 4 lifetime. IF
ever there was case Of human
suffering claiming universal
sympathy among bis aequain-
tances, the case Of James D..
Roberts was one. He leaves a
wife, several grown up children,
a large connection. and many
friends who mourn for him, yet
rejoice in the hope and belief that
his life Of suffering IS changed tC
one of everlasting bliss. AT last
he is free frou pain. His age
was about rs years.
1 II is with intense sorrow that
we announce the death Of Mrs
Edith Bates, the beloved wife Of
DR.. N. p. Bates. and daughter OF
| Mr.. and Mrs. n. S. Mclean,
She died in this place on Thursday
morning last, at the age Of about
! 20 years. She has left bcreav-

assertion of rights on such occa-
sions, is but the out-pouring Of
its meanness. 1t stickles for a
straw. Ii boards you in trade,
and demands ITS rights with more
than compound interest. IL makes
the hard hearted creditor, and the
unjust and dishonest debtor. The
rule Of sclfsbncss only works one
way, and that is toward selfish
ness. 1t makes people unkind,
dngenerous and miserly. Their
very charity is moth-eaten. Their
good deeds are prompted by self

As the harvest moon in the west rode low
When the harvest songs were done,
With the sweetest q haryestcFs on strollea
In the red Of the dying sun.
She was fair enough to have crowned been
As queen Of the garnered store,
With shining wreaths aud with dance and
song,
As in pastoral days Of yofa
Net only because she was sweetest and best
But the readiest, mmblest one
That tossed the hay, or with cleaning wieps
The bright sheaves bound in the sun.
And now as we strayed Ger tile silent fields,
When the word seemed hushed with hope,
Aud the cows in the meadows still lettering
With the sheep on the distant slope,
She looked so fair, with hcr eyes downcast
Aud her checks with the SUMS brown stain
And her tresses stirred by the zepbyrs kiss
More golden then all the grain.
Theu bent to her ear and faltercd low;
.Oh fairer than ans Of old
Who, as harvest nvmphs at the festivals,
We're crowned with the ruddy goldl
Could YOU not be. oh, lcvo, my love
The queen Of my liieiust now,
With this ruddy wreath ofthe tting sun
Like halo upon your browl'
Then the rosy blush Of hor wiusome face
More sweet than the sunset seemed;
Through teai-wct lashes that tiemblcd low
Her beautiful dark eyes beamed;
And my next response was herheaving breast
And the touch Of her dainty pain
Till seemed III the harYosts of Eden clines-
Ina heaven Of love and balm.

PRIDE AND sELFlsHNEss.
BOTH THESE QUALITIES CENTER IN
SELF.

1. They have no regard for
others. Pride is the estimate a
person places upon himself. A
person may be proud of his good
looks, Of his dress, of bis wealth,
Of his parentage, Of his character
and many other things. The es-
innate may be too high, it may
be absurd, and it may be reason
able. To beproud ofsome things,
makes a person ridiculous and
contemplate. So it happens,
that we have foolish pride, silly
pride, ridiculous pride. To be
proud of our personal appearance,
may be very ridiculous. Good
looks alone without good quali-
ties are very fiimsv things. The
golden casket may contain a car
rion death. TO be proud of the
money inherited from our parents,
Is itself very poor foundation
for IT'S foolish parade. Many
children have made very bad use
of the hard earned inheritance
which their parents bequeathed to
them. To s tupidly spend
what the father, by economy, by
industry, and forethought, made,
furnishes no cause for pride, but
for abasement. Many a boy and
girl has only the fatal capacity to
spend money, without the capaci-
ty to make it. Excellent person
al qualities alone are the truest
basis of a reasonable pride. Pride
in this case is that self respect
which belongs to noble natures.
sELFIsIINEss SEEKS HAPPINESS AT THE
EXPENSE OF OTHERS.
2. This is the mark by which
it is known. 1t is a mean quality
It's concern is ,eyer for self. It's
voice is, my comfort, my pleas
ure, and my interest absorb all
other considerations. 1t has no
sympathy. Itrespects no rights.
Its cold, pinched features stare al
human suffering with stolid I'M
concern. All its vices, in its es-
timation are cardinal virtues. A
selfish person in his own estima-
ton, is always right, and all his
claims are superior to those Of
other people. It iostles you every
! where. In the railway coach, the

Maplewood Club.

On Friday last the club opened its
house at Maplewood Beach, and about
one hundred guests were present.
The committees spared no pains in
making the occasion one long to be
remembered from its pleasant asso.
Citations, and they succeeded by a
large,majority.
Tho club house was in frst-class
order. The grounds had been clean
ed up and put iato fine shape, ham,
mocks, hammock chairs and swings
dotted the ground, and every one en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion.
At six o'clock Harrisons' Military
band made its appearance, and after
they had enjoyed bountiful COLA
ton, which, by the way, was excep-
tionally fine, they gave an open air
concert, lasting about an hour. The
music was fine, and the band deserves
much credit for the manner in which
its selections were rendered.
AS soon as it was dark the house
and grounds were lighted up with
numerous Chinese lanterns, which
added very materially to the appear
ance of the scene. About eight
o'cl ock the floor was put in order for
dancing, and ali present entered into
the sport, which lasted until about
twelve o'clock.
1t was a decided success, and the
members of the Maplewood club are
to be congratulated.

According to arrangements the
course for the boat race was changed
so as to accommodate the spectators
at the club house. N. w. Rice's boat
got away first, followed by Jon Hick-
man G.. n. Bishop and John Don
nelly in the order Eamed. The first
buoy was passed in same order. When
the second buoy was passed Hick-
man and Donnelly pulled out of the
race and went towards home, while
Rice and Bishop kept on and finish
ed the RAGE, The course, after pass
ing the third bnoy, was about a mile
in length and the wind very light
and from the northwest. Mr.. Rice's
boat, being larger and round bottom.
ed was enabled to hold closer to tue
wind and came in on the home
stretch without a tack, while bishop
had to tack once and thus lost the
the race by about half a minute. This
is the third race and'no one has sue.
ceeded in winning Two, SO 1t is very
doubtful who will own the silver cup.
